BROWNWOOD – The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service office in Brown County and the Brown County Master Gardeners Association will conduct five home landscape programs April through September as part of their Lunch-N-Learn series.
All the programs will start at noon in the AgriLife Extension office in Brown County located at 605 Fisk Ave. in Brownwood. Cost for the overall series is $25 due upon arrival. Participants are asked to bring their own lunch.
Dates and topics will be:
– April 2, Spring Bloomers.
– May 6, Yard/Fruit Tree Replacement.
– June 10, Native Plants for Use in Our Area.
– July 8, Non-Invasive Plants.
– Sept. 9, Plants for Hummingbirds and Butterflies.
“With outdoor watering restrictions becoming a constant fact of life across our entire region, maintaining a beautiful landscape is becoming much more challenging,” said Scott Anderson, AgriLife Extension agent in Brown County. “Nice landscapes are still attainable, but it appears we will have to transition to a different set of plant materials to be able to maintain the lush look so many homeowners strive for. The goal of this series is to help homeowners make that transition as smooth as possible.”
